    Haha, top notch entertainment as always.
  • SMcCall64
    They should totally have a movie alien dude based on the snake-guy from #5.
  • nafeasonto
    I remember the POOL ONE!
  • talkjawking100
    HA! Amazing as always, valued critic. :D
  • Matt913
    Thank you for mentioning the Rachael Leigh Cook frying pan PSA. It's not great
    nostalgia or anything--she's just hot.
  • Paul Servo
    I couldnt' agree more. That PSA was the first time I saw her, and I was hooked
  • Manos
    LMAO!!! #1 is DEFINITELY up there! Pee Wee Herman talking about crack made me
    laugh out loud.
  • ThatFellowInTheCoat
    Hilarious one, even though the Star Wars PSA is probably the one of those I've
    seen beforehand.

    #9 and #2 were probably my favourite segments of the review. Excellent work,
    Nostalgia Critic.
  • Nidoking
    My favorite part is that most drug PSAs didn't even tell kids what drugs ARE...
    just that whatever they are is bad. Drug pushers only had to say "these
    aren't drugs" to get kids hooked if they really wanted to. How's the kid
    going to know?
  • HOTsuma91
    DAMN Rachael is hot. She was right for the voice of Tifa in Advent Children.

    ANYWHO
    I dunno NC. I mean, it was cool to see old drug commercials, but I honestly
    didn't even crack a smile until the #1, and then I busted up laughing. Not
    knocking on you or anything, you've actually inspired me to start doing my own
    video reviews (coming soon!). I just think that your strength comes in reviewing
    shit movies that we grew up with. hahaha and I'm sure we'd ALL be able to think
    of some for you.
  • OrangeZack
    This.... is "crack" AHHH YOU SAID THE SECRET WORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • ThatFellowInTheCoat
    In the recent news update, it said that there would be something special with
    the new Nostalgia Critic. What was it?

    Or will it be in the Captain Planet review? And when is that going up?

    FINALLY!

    PS- I love the 2001 a Space Odyssey thing with the blatant green screen and the
    Peewee impression.
  • AML6349
    Loved it, as usual! Great job! ;D
  • Javet
    Great vid! Wait. That was Rachael Leigh Cook (The only decent voice over in
    FF7AC)?
  • Joker
    He should've included the Montana Meth Ads. Those are funny stuff.
  • trailerboy415
    You do a good Pee Wee impresion
  • Monado
    After watching all those PSA's, it actually makes me want to do drugs.
  • Monado
    By the way, you sound exactly like Pee Wee Herman, it made me think you are him
    for a sec. :P
  • Deadpool47
    I think they were taunting you to try drugs just to see if they get better while
    on em.
  • Curiosity Inc
    So... what exactly is the "truth behind the government propaganda?"

    I would've switched the #2 and #3 spots, but #1 was right on the money. That
    whole spot was just insane and the joke about Playhouse being drug-inspired was
    hilarious.

    Also, it's great to see you do impressions like that. It reminded me of that
    dead-ringer Woody Woodpecker you did for the Batman & Robin review. Fun stuff.

    We shouldn't be surprised to see such over-the-top PSAs. Everyone loves a good
    scapegoat and parents (for some reason) seem to want the TV to do the parenting
    for them. The whole thing is shameful, really.

    Let me add, in closing, with this statement: I know -- beyond any shadow of a
    doubt -- that if Marlboro, Newport, Kool, etc. put their minds, money and
    lobbyists to it, they could make marijuana legal.
  • SuperVillain90
    This is hilarious. I just love ThatGuy's reaction to "The greatest comback
    in the history of victorious zingers" and the graphic behind him in #2. It
    had me dying.
  • Dr Dib
    Great stuff here. Sure I never saw any them on T.V. and only saw a few of them
    on the internet, but the video was still great. I'm surprised you didn't mention
    the extended version of this is your brain on drugs PSA done by Robot Chicken.

    Anywho, the Captain Planet episode about drugs is just epic. There are so many
    things to say about it that you could probably do an entire video on it. Maybe
    I'll write a blog on it if it's not mentioned in the next NC video...
  • SadMammal
    If memory serves me correctly, that audio sample early on is Gorillaz' Left Hand
    Suzuki Method.
  • SaveALemming
    One of my favorite old PSAs was about a doctor getting high and asking a kid on
    his operating table what he was in for- Tonsilitis? The kid frantically says,
    "Appendicitis!" And the doctor proceeds to smoke and giggle just like
    the characters in Reefer Madness. Insert serious drug talk here. The ending is
    why I loved it: Cut back to the doctor, we're not watching from the kid's point
    of view, and the doctor's coming toward us with a scalpel, giggling, "Now
    let's see if I can make a straight line."
